ANSI color support in edit buffer

See original GitHub issue

Now ANSI colors are supported in the debug console, I’d like to see it in the editor, something like SublimeANSI.

VSCode Version: 1.19
OS Version: macOS

Steps to Reproduce:

open a file which contains ANSI color escape sequence, or simply ls --color | code
colorless raw ANSI code displayed, rather than colored text.

Reproduces without extensions: Yes

I made a VS Code extension since I could not find one which provides this feature. It’s not perfect, but enough for my use-case. If someone wants to have a look, the repository is here at vt100-syntax-highlighting and the extension VT100 Syntax Highlighting is already in the VS Code Marketplace.

I was just looking for this feature too. My terminal can log to a text file, but when I view the file in VSCODE it’s full of escape sequences. Would be nice have a way to either hide them or render them.
